Sausage casserole, or “saw ships”  casserole that’s what lils calls it !
Comfort food season has landed with warming stews, casseroles and hot pots. To be honest I could eat this type of grub all year round. Food with so much comfort it gives you a hug on a cold day.   When buying a for a good quality sausage look for a high pork content,  in and around 70 % and above. This dish is super easy to cook and with good pork sausage packs a punch in the flavour department!

I serve it piled high on top of rice and never have any leftovers to freeze,,, (plates are licked ) no shame

Get in touch over on the fb page  .. I can’t wait to hear how you guys get on with this one x
